EarLy Exercise in blunt Chest wall Trauma: A multi-centre, parallel randomised controlled trial (ELECT2 Trial)
The results of this trial did not support a 'one-size fits all' simple, early exercise programme for patients with blunt chest wall trauma. Future research should consider the impact of a personalised exercise programme, commenced by the patient at least one week post-injury.
